There is a $5 non-refundable reservation fee for each reserved site and a $15 per night fee for second vehicles at a campsite. The vehicle fee can be paid online or upon arrival at the park. The extra vehicle fee does not apply to vehicles towed behind a primary vehicle (RV) when the RV remains at the site and the towed vehicle is used for transportation.

About Catalina State Park

Catalina State Park sits at the base of the majestic Santa Catalina Mountains. The park is a haven for desert plants and wildlife and nearly 5,000 saguaros. The 5,500 acres of foothills, canyons and streams invites camping, picnicking and bird watching — more than 150 species of birds call the park home. The park provides miles of equestrian, birding, hiking, and biking trails which wind through the park and into the Coronado National Forest at elevations near 3,000 feet. The park is located within minutes of the Tucson metropolitan area. This scenic desert park also offers equestrian trails and an equestrian center provides a staging area for trail riders with plenty of trailer parking. Bring along your curiosity and your sense of adventure as you take in the beautiful mountain backdrop, desert wildflowers, cacti and wildlife.
